RENEWS HIS ATTACK
Oil SAMUEL GOMPERS
Senator . Shertoan Also Assails
: Postmaster General Burleson.
'45ay Mr. Gompers ' is to Deliver Labor
Vote to Democrats While Mr. Bur
" leson Uses the Postmasters
to "Fry Fat."
"Washington, Sept. 7. Senator Sher-'-
man renewed his attack on President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor, during debate on
the Owen Corrupt Practices bill today
in the Senate, declaring the labor lead
er and Postmaster General Burleson
were the two most prominent figures
on the Democratic side of the presiden
tial campaign. Mr. Gompers, he said,
was to deliver the two million labor
votes to the Democrats, .while Mr. Bur
leson used the postmasters of the coun
try to "fry fat" for it.
Senator Sherman quoted from a Tex
as newspaper of 1909 to show that Mr.
.iBurleson then was part owner of a
branch where hundreds of convict labor
jers were employed. In 1911,- he said,
;!the foreman of the ranch was tried for
causing the death of a negro convict
who had been whipped, but was acquit
ted, and in 1913 was appointed post
master at Long View, Texas.
"If," continued Senator Sherman,
'"there is any tainted money in this
country as Mr. Bryan has hinted, it
certainly is to be found in the posses
sion of the Postmaster General of the
present administration."
"When debate was resumed today
Senator Reed reviewed the eight-hour
railroad legislation in a long: speech
and referred to The utterances of
Charles E. Hughes, the Republican
candidate, on the Adamson bill. He
.put in the record Mr. Hughes' vetoes
as governor of ISew York of bills for
. two-cent passenger t ares, full train
crew and an income .tax.
"In the light of 'these, vetoes," said
the senator, "I wonder how long . it
would have taken Mr.' Hughes if-Jie had
;been President, to make uprhis mind to
'enact legislation that would have set
jtled this strike-question,-ahd: how much
more it would have cost the. country if
ie had been President instead of
. Woodrow Wilson."

by the suffragists
(Continued From Page One.)
pf the long session and another motion
was made to postpone consideration
,nd it was quickly adopted and the
resolution .was fixed for the first order
of business tomorrow morning.
The annual address of the president
was one of the features o f the day's
proceedings, Mrs. Catt reviewing the
(suffrage movement in many states for
"many-years back.
Many delegates today explained to
the convention the difficulties of get
ting proposed constitutional amend
'ments through the 'legislatures. Mrs.
Guilford Dudley, Tennessee, in , favor
ing a Federal amendment, sai dthat
one of the objections heard to it was
that it .infringed on state rights. . --
She pointed out that man ystatesmen
Vho oppose a Federal suffrage amende
ment as an invasion of state rights
.'.favored the amendment for electing
.senators by the people, the national
prohibition amendment and the Na
tional Child Labor law, which she said
are in the same class with regard to
alleged infringement..
The evening sessiop of the conven
tion was given over to listening to
speeches, by Southern women. It was
called. "Dixie Evening." Those who
were on the programme as speakers
were Mrs. B. J. Cunningham, president
Texas "Woman Suffrage Association;

SHOUTS DECLARES THE
STRIKE J-A FAILURE
Subway and "L" Line Schedules
Virtually Normal
However, Traffic on the 5una.ce Lines
of the New York; RailTways Com
pany Is Muck Affected
Minor Disorders.
New York," September 7. Subway
and elevated train transportation lines
on Manhattan Island were being oper
ated' tonight "oh what officials of. the
Interborough Rapid Transit Company
said were virtually normal schedules,
although it was admitted that service
on the surface lines of the New York
Railways Company was seriously af
fected by the traction strike called last
night.
Theodore P. Shonts, president .of the
Interborough, issued a statement, late
today in which he said the strike was
a failure, and that if police protection
continued as . good as it had been
throughout the day, the city was as
sured of normal transportation facili
ties. Disorders that occurred in various
parts of the city resulted in only minor
injuries to a few persons, according to
police reportg. ..
Disruption of service on surface lines
diverted much of their usual traffic to
the elevated and subway ilnes, and dur
ing the rush hours this evening there
was considerable congestion.
Mayor Mitchel arrived from the
Plattsburg training camp tonight and
with Oscar S. Straus, chairman of the
public service commission, will tomor
row will take up the strike situation.
William B. Fitzgerald, organizer of
the Amalgamated Association, and
Frank Hedley, general manager of the
Interborough, .testified at a hearing on
the strike before the public service
commission. "
a Failure of the union to tie up the
subway, and elevated lines is attributed
by some . union men to the fact that
thousands of strike breakers, congre
gated here and in :nearby cities in prep
aration for the threatened nationwide
railway strike, were available to the
Interborough. -

(Continued from Page One.)
Canadian control of Pacific coast fish
eries and .Representative Gardner, of
Massachusetts, enlivened the House
with bitter denunciation of the retal
iatory provision against foreign inter
ference with American commerce.
Mr. Gardner charged Congress with
hypocrisy and his criticisms of the ad
ministration aroused the Ire of some of
the Democrats, two of whom, Repre
sentative Decker, of Missouri, and Cul
lop, of Indiana, made speeches in -reply.
Representative. Bennet, of New
York, Republican, said he disagreed
with both Representative Gardner and
Decker, but that there were questions
of national honor that arose above par
tisanship. Representative Decker, amid rounds
of Democratic applause, thanked God
that here was in the White House a
President who was willing to resort to
negotiations .before seroting to the
sword. cDkevaiJK89sted that the views
of GardftBr;' aln'd ,' 2&r. Roosevelt were

"You daim-tbedevoted to human

Mr. Gardner. "Why don't you pass an

repudiates JthWB(USitaniai crime? These
retaliatory amendments would be look
ed upon all Over the world as a blow in

taxes. He was plied with duestions

ford, of :.Wisconsin4I Republican, said t
was a grave -mistake for the ' House
conferees to accepxt the Senate amend
ment increasing duties on printpaper.
Mr. Kitchin conceded that the confer
ence committee was inclined to believe
the amendment might cause a slight in
crease in printpaper - prices, but said
the situation with 'respect to Canada

Course of Study.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Wake Forest, Sept. 7. The registra
tion at Wake ForeBt College has stead
ily increased since the opening last
Tuesday, the enrollment at noon today
numbering 372. This figure compares
very favorably with, last year's regis
tration at the same time, and it will
be recalled that the high water mark
for attendance was reached last year
at the Baptist institution. Seventeen
more students have registered this
year than at the corresponding time
last year, and this is considered a not
able gain in view of the unuprecedent
ed size of the senior class last year,
which numbered 107.
Wake Forest is taking a pioneer
step in college education in North
Carolina by adding a new course thi
year in physiology and hygiene, which
will be required for all degrees in the
future. Dr. W. T. Carstarphen, pro
fessor of physiology in the School of
Medicine, has made extensive investi
gations in this subject and is convinc
e dof the pressing need of such a
course.
Wake Forest students returning are
greeted by a new pastor this fall, Rev.
Clarence D. Graves, of Nashville, Tenn.i
having begun his new pastorate at
Wake Forest on August 20. The
new pastor is'--a graduate of
JWTake. Forest College, taking his A. B.
d'gree..!iii the" spring .of 1892. '. Follow
ing his graduation he taught two years

inary at Louisville, where he graduat
